The Motherhood Circle
A 6-Week Group Coaching Programme for Neurodivergent Mums & Babies
You’ve had the baby, now what about you?
The early weeks of motherhood can feel magical, messy, and mentally loud, especially if you are neurodivergent. Between sensory overload, identity shifts, executive dysfunction and emotional highs and lows, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself.
The Motherhood Circle is a gentle, empowering space for neurodivergent mums to breathe, process, and reconnect, in community with others who get it.
Whether you have a formal diagnosis or simply know your brain works a little differently, this group is here to support you, without judgment, pressure or performance.
Babies welcome. Masking not required.
What You will Gain
- Relief from feeling like you are the only one
- Practical tools to help manage mental clutter, overstimulation, and emotional overload
- Permission to not be productive all the time
- Confidence to set boundaries that honour your energy and sensory needs
- Connection with other neurodivergent mums who understand your pace, pauses, and passions
- A gentle path to reconnect with yourself, beyond the roles and routines
This is for you if…
- You need a space to understand how your neurodivergence might be impacting your day-to-day life and to find strategies that work best to navigate motherhood and look after yourself.
- You are adjusting to a new identity and wondering where did I go?
- You find yourself overstimulated, overthinking, or emotionally exhausted
- You struggle with the mental load, masking, or feeling like you are “too much” or “not enough”
- You want support from someone who gets the nuance of neurodivergent motherhood
Babies are welcome in every session, feeding, fidgeting, crying, cuddling… it’s all part of the circle.

How to Join
Spots are intentionally limited to keep the group supportive and neurodivergent-friendly. You can join the waitlist or book your spot, or book a free 20-minute call to see if it’s right for you.
You don’t have to explain why this feels hard. You just have to show up.
FAQ
I’m not formally diagnosed, can I still join?
Absolutely. This space is for anyone who identifies with the neurodivergent experience, whether you are self-identified, diagnosed, or just starting to explore.
Will this be overwhelming or overstimulating?
We take things slow. Sessions are spacious, sensory-considerate, and completely camera-optional. Sharing is always voluntary. No pressure, ever.
What if I miss a session?
Life happens. You will get a short written recap + optional journaling prompt to keep you connected.
Is this therapy?
No, this is coaching, forward-focused, reflective, and empowering. If you are looking for therapy, we can help signpost you to appropriate care.
About Your Coach
Hi, I’m Merrigan Archdale – coach, neurodivergent mum, and fierce believer that you matter just as much as your baby.
When I became a mother, the world told me to slow down but my brain sped up. I was anxious, overstimulated, full of love… and full of self-doubt. I created this programme for people like me: sensitive, smart, multi-layered women navigating early motherhood with brains that don’t always fit the mould.
I bring my coaching tools, lived experience, and a trauma-aware, neurodivergent-affirming lens to every session.
